I am enthused with a good outing this afternoon:-

I took a pair of gloves, and so glad I did. It was cloudy, no sun and the wind was cold. But that did not matter, conditions were great although not constant. Flew for about 65 mins with just very short breaks to pick it up and chuck it again when the wind would drop momentarily. The lift was so strong at times I honestly thought I was not going to be able to bring it down if the wind did not subside.The iSoar-V (has Bob H's wing design) is a joy to fly when the conditions suit it.

I was joined by some Red Tails for a short while and was afraid they were going to attack the plane, but they did not.

Apart from the Red Tails I was very lonely (hint).

Andy

Update @ 7 am, plan to be there about 1:30 pm.

If the forecast holds, looking at going to the slope tomorrow about 1 pm.
